Bill overview
This bill would allow municipalities to use funds from an ‘open space tax’ – typically collected for acquiring land for recreation and conservation – to develop or maintain other recreational and conservation land within the municipality, even if that land isn’t owned by the local government. Currently, these funds could only be used for land specifically acquired by the municipality. The bill aims to broaden the use of these funds to benefit residents.
